Yates and one gentleman warmed so on
the subject that he unconSciouSly faded
from the understandable English, with
which he started, into very unlntellegi-
bic Norwegian TO many of those present
and somebody called him to order, at
which there was general laugh. A
goodly number of those present vOlun-
Yates, some Offering to take one and
some two and even three. There will
